RIPper_SVK Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 yes i'm interested in the unit of the number. so if i see that 120mm AP has lossrate 150, then i know that in atmosphere with density 1 the penetration of AP round at the distance of 1km is 280...this is my guess of what does the number mean (but i think that doesn't correspond with my experience in the game), could some dev please confirm it?

yurch Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 That wouldn't make much sense either, because at 4k * .7 Atmosphere (or, equal to 2.8k in atmosphere 1, 2.8 * 150 = 420) This would give 120mm AP a penetration 430 - 420 = penetration 10, which would have difficulty with a shrike. AP does have at least enough velocity on that map to penetrate thor side at less than optimal angles. (so, greater than 150 penetration) Anyway, I hope it's not that simple. Air resistance is a square function of velocity... I know a 5.56mm round can lose half of it's muzzle energy within the first 200m, but after that, the rate of energy loss is much slower.
